Service Schedule
The following service information is for a UK based Stock car, if you
plan to modify the power output or handling then ask people in the know about
what should be done
My view has always been Stock and Stage 1 cars can use these values
but once you go beyond stage 1 you need to service more regularly and if you
are going to use the car on the track for any length of time you should change
the engine oil and Brake fluid more frequently.

Haldex Servicing - Why and When?
If you have a small VAG '4wd' car; Whether
it's a TT Quattro, an S3, a Golf 4motion, or an Octavia 4x4, the chances are
your car uses the Haldex four wheel
drive system.
Unlike traditional four wheel drive systems, this
allows the vehicle to return similar fuel consumption to that of a front wheel
drive when driving in a relaxed manner such as cruising along on the motorway,
but with the grip of an all wheel drive car when it's
needed!
In this blog, we will attempt to help readers better understand the Haldex system and it's
service requirements.
What is the 'Haldex' part of the rear diff?
- What most people refer to as the Haldex is a
coupling system attached to a traditional type rear differential that allows
the rear drive to be brought in and out as it is needed.
- The system operates using a wet multi-plate clutch setup, somewhat similar to
that of most motorcycles.
- The Haldex pump provides oil pressure, which
actuates the clutches to bring in rear drive as and when the ECU requests it.
Why should I service this?
- Unlike differential oil, which lubricates; the Haldex
oil is very specific and promotes friction between the faces of the multi-plate
clutch setup.
- This friction between the plates causes particles of friction material to
slowly build up within the oil.
- On most Haldex systems, a filter is installed which
collects these unwanted particles, however in more modern models, the filter is
omitted in favour of an oil strainer at the pump.
When should I service this?
- On vehicles with a Haldex Filter (Gen1 &
Gen2) it is good practice to replace the oil and the filter at 20,000 mile
intervals.
- On some vehicles where the Haldex system has a
filter from factory, but the main dealers don't sell a replacement (Gen4) it
is possible to purchase a filter from ourselves which can help increase the
lifespan of the factory pump.
- On vehicles which don't have a filter (Gen5), we recommend servicing
at 10,000 mile intervals, as the strainer on the pump can become blocked,
eventually leading to pump failure. We always recommend removing the pump and
cleaning the strainer as well as the housing whenever changing the Haldex oil on these models.
What about the front Haldex Diffs?
- Some Front wheel drive vehicles including the Golf GTI Mk7's with the
Performance Pack and Leon Cupra Mk3 have a Haldex
diff at the front of the vehicle.
- This 'VAQ' Haldex system actuates in the very same
way as all of the four wheel drive Haldex
systems, only it vectors the torque between the two front wheels increasing
traction during performance driving conditions.
- These should be given the same service attention as the Gen5 four wheel drive models.
Can I use any oil in my Haldex System?
- No! You should ideally only ever use the Genuine VAG Haldex
oil prescribed for your specific vehicle.
- The Haldex oil is a non-lubricative oil to promote
friction of the clutch plates and using any other oil can result in a total
loss of drive from the rear effectively converting your car into a front wheel
drive.
What about the rear differential itself?
- If you have a Haldex four wheel
drive car, it is good practice to replace the 'final drive' rear differential
oil, as your rear diff has a completely separate oil bath to the 'Haldex' part of the four wheel drive system.
- VW/Audi have always quoted this as being a 'lifetime' fluid, however as a
specialist looking after older cars - we recommend this is changed at intervals
of around 75,000 miles.
Taken from the Revo vehicle-care-maintenance
Care and
general maintenance are important for any vehicle regardless of the state of
tune. The further you push your vehicle the more you need to service it. Below
are some recommendations for servicing and maintenance.
Recommended
For a stage
1 or 2 vehicles, Revo
suggests that you maintain the same service schedule recommended by your
vehicle’s manufacturer. Unlike standard air-filters that you replace
aftermarket air-filters required routine cleaning in order to correctly
function, this needs to be accounted for with your general servicing.
For stage
2+ and higher stage vehicles, Revo highly recommends reducing the service
intervals. As you are running more power through the engine, wear is obviously
going to increase.
Vehicle
use-age has a big effect on general wear and tear. If you use your vehicle on
the track or for long distance driving trips; it’s advised to do both pre and
post inspection and fluid changes.
If you are
running a TFSI with an uprated fuel pump, Revo recommends a visual inspection
of the cam follower every 5000 miles or at the very least, adding it to your
normal service schedule. For more details click here to see the HPFP technical
page.
